- The company, with a market capitalization of 2.5 billion euros, had been trading on the open outcry market and is moving to the Continuous Market
- The company made its debut on the Barcelona Stock Exchange in 1942
BME has approved the listing of Molins shares on the Madrid Stock Exchange and their simultaneous inclusion in the Spanish Stock Market Interconnection System (SIBE). Until now, the company, with a market capitalization of 2.5 billion euros, had been trading on the open outcry market of the Barcelona Stock Exchange, where it has been present since 1942. The company closed Friday’s session with a share price of 39 euros.
These types of markets were the traditional stock trading system in Spain, where transactions were carried out at specific times during the trading session and, originally, orally between intermediaries. Currently, companies that remain in these markets are traded through an auction system (fixing), in which buy and sell orders are grouped and executed at a single price at two specific times of the day.
In contrast, the commonly called “continuous market” uses an electronic platform (SIBE) that allows real-time trading throughout the entire stock market session. The main difference lies in liquidity and trading frequency: while in the open outcry market transactions are scarcer and concentrated at the moments when the two auctions that make up the fixing are settled, the continuous market offers constant trading, a higher volume of transactions, and more efficient price formation. Most listed companies in BME trade on this continuous market.
Molins is a Spanish company founded in 1928 and a global leader in innovative and sustainable solutions for construction. With an integrated and diversified business model that covers the entire value chain of materials and solutions for construction, it holds leading positions in Iberia and has a consolidated presence in key international markets. The company combines operational excellence, financial discipline, and a strategy focused on profitable growth and the creation of sustainable long-term value.
At the end of March 2026, Molins completed the acquisition of Secil, a strategic transaction that strengthens the company’s positioning with greater geographic balance and a more stable revenue profile, with a higher share of euro-denominated revenues and lower exposure to exchange rate volatility.
On a 2025 pro forma basis, the company resulting from the combination of Molins and Secil would have achieved sales of 1.638 billion euros and an adjusted EBITDA of 534 million euros, including the expected synergies.
“At BME, we work every day to offer companies markets that fit their needs, regardless of their size or characteristics. Our goal is for all companies to know they can rely on the markets to achieve their objectives, develop their projects, and grow. We are delighted that a centenarian company with such a long history shared with us in the market like Molins continues to trust BME to accompany it in this new stage,” said Susana de Antonio, Head of Primary Markets at BME.Antonio, director of Primary Markets at BME.
